103: Chapter 102: Undercurrents surge, and the world of the strong changes!New World, Whitebeard Pirates, Moby Dick.
"Gulala!The ocean is becoming more and more interesting!"
One of the Four Emperors, Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), was on an IV drip, laughing uncontrollably.
The Phoenix Marco next to him took the newspaper and asked:
"Dad, did something interesting happen?"
Whitebeard distributed the newspapers and said with relish:
"Guys, just take a look for yourselves!Gulala!It's so funny!"
Today's News of the World newspaper prominently featured a full-page announcement from the Navy:
[The strongest Shichibukai emerges, and the navy touts their justice] and [The admiral appears to be defeated!He personally witnesses the birth of the strongest Shichibukai]!
Monkey D.Luffy, a man of justice born in the East China Sea, was personally invited by the Navy Admiral [Aokiji]!
Monkey D.Luffy founded the [Straw Hat Pirates], and its flagship [Golden Merry] dominated the ocean!
During the invitation of the Navy Admiral, the Straw Hat Adventure Captain Monkey D.Luffy signed an unknown unequal treaty with the Navy!
No one knows what kind of agreement the Navy reached with the new Seven Warlords of the Sea!But what is known is that Monkey D.Luffy had the absolute upper hand in this negotiation!
Admiral Aokiji contacts Marine Headquarters to inform them that the Straw Hat Pirates possess the power to threaten the Admiral's life!The Straw Hat Pirates may become the most powerful of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!This has been confirmed by Marine Headquarters!
…
The newspaper included a picture of Monkey D.Luffy smiling, and a picture of Navy Admiral Aokiji leaning on a bicycle and gazing into the distance on the frozen sea.
Message from Vice Admiral Jonathan of the Navy G8 Branch:
"It's true!Mr.Luffy and his companions are extremely powerful!They helped the navy destroy a well-known large pirate group of 500 people in less than half a day!Thank you to the Seven Warlords of the Sea for your support and help in our work!"
Message from Admiral Akainu of the Navy Headquarters:
"Since a righteous and powerful man recognized by General Aokiji himself has become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, his power is undeniable."
Admiral Kizaru of the Marine Headquarters enjoys watching the fun:
"Wow, Admiral Aokiji left the uninhabited island looking disheveled.Why are there rumors that Admiral Aokiji collapsed in a huge explosion pit, looking shabby and miserable?
Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature?Could it be that he was beaten because of a failed negotiation with this "Strongest Shichibukai"?
Oh!General Aokiji has this melancholy look in his eyes.What on earth has he been through?Young people are so scary!
Admiral Aokiji of the Navy Headquarters left a message and tagged Admiral Kizaru of the Navy Headquarters:
"＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊!"
(PS: Because General Aokiji's words were too harsh and could easily cause discomfort, President Morgans has blocked him.)
Aokiji's inner thoughts: How presumptuous!The animals that eat bamboo shoots are starving to death.Does anyone know what's going on?
"Hahahahaha!Is his name Luffy?I seem to have heard before that he and our Captain Ace are sworn brothers!"
The pirates on the Moby Dick cheered.
[Diamond] Joz took the newspaper and looked at it:
"Dad, this Straw Hat Luffy is so strong!"
Edward Newgate laughed:
The captain of the Straw Hat Adventures is not only a sworn brother to Ace, but Ace's previous call also said that they are also sworn brothers with Sabo, the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army!
Gulala!These three brothers are truly remarkable young men!But the admirals are just a bunch of juniors, nothing special!Keep up the good work."
"Eh eh eh eh eh?"
Whitebeard's sons exclaimed:
"Then we should celebrate!Let's have a party!"
——————————
New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.
The Four Emperors [Kaido] was drinking heavily:
"Oh la la la la la la!The strongest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?Little brat, if you have the guts, come to the New World and fight me!I'll be waiting for you!"
[Flame Disaster] Jin advised from the side:
"Boss Kaido, you can't let your guard down!Even the admiral of the navy has said so.That guy is definitely not someone you can easily deal with!"
Kaido roared and picked up the mace [Eight Commandments]:
"Oh la la la la la la!Jin, do you think I'm scared?I'm really eager to fight that brat!"
Jin quickly said:
"That's not the case, Boss!Wano Country still has big things to deal with, and we can't leave now!Wano Country still needs your intimidation, and those scoundrels will stop!"
Kaido swallowed his wine:
"Tsk—what a hassle!"
…
——————————
New World, the Four Emperors [Big Mom] base, Wano Country, Cake Island.
The Four Emperors [Big Mom] ate dessert and held a newspaper:
"Mamamama, this brat actually became one of the [Strongest Seven Warlords of the Sea]?It's just a gimmick of the navy!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!Mom is the strongest of the Four Emperors!You're just a little brat, come to the New World and you'll know how big the world is!"
The younger brothers below agreed.
——————————
Somewhere in the New World.
Four Emperors [Red Hair] Shanks held the newspaper with a sharp look in his eyes:
"Luffy?You did a great job!Looks like the day we meet at the top isn't far away!"
Ben Beckman smokes a cigarette:
"How about it?Are you going to meet Luffy now?"
The red-haired man shook his head:
"No, it's not time yet!Prepare the ship!The world might be changing drastically.Let's go to Whitebeard's place!"
"Okay, boss!"
Preparations began quickly below.
…
——————————
Mary Geoise, Pangaea.
The Five Elders whispered:
"Now, this Straw Hat Luffy has been pushed onto the [Strongest Seven Warlords of the Sea], should we intervene?"
"No!We can use him for some publicity!The most troublesome thing now is that Red Hair is about to come into contact with Whitebeard!"
"This really requires close attention!"
…
————————
It's still a new world.
[Red Hair] Shanks is about to meet [White Beard] Edward Newgate.
"Dad!Dad!Redhead said he wants to see you, Dad!"
The little pirate on the Moby Dick nervously conveyed the news.
"Shanks, did that guy bring some good wine?"
Whitebeard snorted.
"Meet Captain Redhead!"
Someone shouted, and two of the Four Emperors' ships slowly approached.
[Phoenix] Marco stood up:
"Young people, step back!"
Before he finished speaking, someone had already fallen down.
"What happened?"
A pirate on Whitebeard's ship exclaimed.
Marco scratched his hair:
"Is it too late?Still the same, such powerful domineering!"
[Red Hair] Shanks came slowly over, carrying a barrel of fine wine.The huge sense of oppression made the pirates swallow their saliva, not daring to breathe, and even the hull of the ship was cracked.
Shanks smiled calmly:
"Excuse me for showing off your power right after I boarded the enemy ship.I brought healing water."
Shanks poured out a large bowl of fine wine and threw the wine jug to Whitebeard:
"Stop Ace!Now is not the time for those two to clash!"
The sky was changing rapidly, and dark clouds suddenly descended.
Whitebeard threw the wine jug in anger:
"You're a hundred years too early to tell me what to do!"
Shanks drank a large bowl of wine, stood up and was extremely serious, even drawing his sword:
"In this era of rampage, no one can stop it!"
Whitebeard drew his sword in anger and chopped it off:
"You must be joking!I'm Whitebeard!"
The fight between [Red Hair] and [White Beard] tore the sky in two, and everyone fell into deathly silence, waiting for what would happen next.
Then the two of them laughed and sat down.
"Roger, Garp, Sengoku, there were fewer people familiar with the sea at that time."
"It happened 22 years ago.It's a matter of course."
"You've made it big, red-haired brat!Back then, you were just an apprentice on Roger's ship!We often clashed with Roger's ship back then, and during those fights, I strangely remembered your appearance!"
Whitebeard thought of the past and laughed:
"Is that funny red nose you were with dead?"
Upon hearing this, the red-haired man said:
"Bucky?I miss him so much!We haven't seen each other since we separated in Rogue Town on the day the captain was executed!"
Whitebeard took a sip of wine, rinsed his mouth, and continued:
"There are many people who are called legends, and the news of your duel with Hawkeye has just reached my ears.
A man like you actually lost the hat Roger gave you in the East Sea?"
Shanks smiled and said:
"I'm betting it on the New Era.Even Joyboy's Devil Fruit is on the same person!"
Whitebeard was a little surprised:
"You even did that!"
Shanks looked at the newspaper in Whitebeard's hand, but he was very calm:
"Ah, you must know that person too!Monkey D.Luffy, Ace's sworn brother and the man who has recently gained fame.
He's doing a really good job!The Adventure Group might be the future.He killed Crocodile, suppressed Germa 66, and now even the Admirals seem to be suffering at his hands!
As a result, he has now been elected as the [Strongest Seven Warlords of the Sea].Regardless of whether this is a gimmick or something else, Luffy is constantly moving towards his goal!"
Whitebeard laughed loudly and said:
"Gulala!It's him!That's not surprising at all.That brat's actions have seemed disorganized, but they're incredibly determined and purposeful!I'm really looking forward to meeting that brat!"
"There will be a chance!" The red-haired man chuckled, but immediately touched the scar on his face seriously:
"The only thing that hurts now is this scar.It was your Blackbeard Marshall D.Teach who hurt me years ago.
That guy has been waiting for his chance!He's incredibly good at forbearance and concealing his weaknesses!He's not vying for the captaincy, nor is he seeking fame.
He hides himself, then takes action after gaining strength, and finally he aims for the top, with his own will!One day he will come and take your place!"
Whitebeard sneered when he heard this:
"Gulala!Shanks, you really are scared by him!That guy is nothing!Teach, he probably doesn't stand a chance!He's just a clown!"
Do you know what news Ace brought me a while ago?Ace said this was also information provided by his brother Luffy!It has been confirmed to be true!
Gulala!That bastard Teach killed Thatch to steal the [Nature-type Dark-Dark Fruit]!He wanted to be the second Rocks!
Blackbeard Teach has a very special physique.He never sleeps and may be able to withstand multiple Devil Fruit powers!Although it's strange, the younger generation will be responsible for finding out!
This is hilarious!The Dark-Dark Fruit is said to be the most dangerous ability!It cannot transform into an element, and the damage it receives is double the original amount!
But the evil thing is that the Dark Dark Fruit can seal all Devil Fruit abilities, causing them to become temporarily ineffective!Do you think I'm afraid of this?"
The red-haired man widened his eyes when he heard this:
"Luffy?He's been making some kind of preparation?Looking ahead?Great!But Blackbeard is definitely not a simple man, so we have to be careful!"
Whitebeard laughed loudly and said:
"Redhead!You are so stupid!People are worried about the future!Let the younger generation take care of the younger generation!
Did you know that Luffy told Ace to prioritize his own safety and not to try to be too stubborn?If he failed, he'd still be there for him!No matter what happened in the future, he'd protect Ace!And, Luffy even helped Ace significantly strengthen himself!
According to Ace, the kid from the new era you bet on—Monkey D.Luffy—is much stronger than Ace!They've also been discussing how to deal with Blackbeard!
Blackbeard Teach committed the unforgivable crime of murdering his comrades on the pirate ship.He broke the iron rule!As long as they're on my ship, no matter how foolish they are, they're my children.Where do the souls of the murdered children go?I owe them a debt of gratitude, and this is a line that cannot be crossed!
Blackbeard has committed a crime against humanity and will definitely be eliminated!
That little bastard Blackbeard is so funny!He even had his underwear shaken clean by those juniors without even realizing it!All that awaits him is annihilation!
The red-haired man was already doubting himself at this moment:
"What's going on?Luffy, is he actually controlling everything behind the scenes?That's really amazing!"
Whitebeard sneered:
"I'm Whitebeard!That's why I want to see that brat as soon as possible!You're really worrying too much!You've also greatly underestimated the man you bet on!
I wonder if the man you've bet so heavily on will surpass Roger and even become the second Joy Boy?"
The red-haired man calmed down at this time:
"Then let's toast!No matter how the times change, we must always maintain a [balance]!"
Luffy said that he wanted to change the world and surpass Joy Boy!
Whitebeard was also quite surprised when he heard this:
"Gulala!So that's what I'm looking forward to!
Did you know that Luffy, that brat, also passed on a shocking prophecy to me through special means?"
The red-haired man asked anxiously:
"Luffy, did he contact you?What did he say?"
Whitebeard said with a gloomy face:
"Your arrival forced me to face the message conveyed by this brat -
Luffy said that Ace's pursuit of Blackbeard would inevitably fail, and there was a high probability that Ace would be captured and taken to Impel Down!Ace would become the fuse that triggered the war between our Whitebeard Pirates and the Marine Headquarters!
Blackbeard will also use the capture of Ace to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even become the biggest beneficiary of the war!
He told me to be careful of possible traitors on board!But my sons are kind-hearted!Without my permission, not a single word of our conversation today can be leaked!
Luffy hopes that once these things happen, you and I, Shanks, will remain calm!He will not allow Ace to be killed, nor can he tolerate Blackbeard going unpunished.He will prevent all this from going to the worst outcome.
He said - the revolutionary army will also help stop this, everything is up to him!"
Luffy: Blackbeard needs to be taken seriously.Tell everyone you know and unite all the forces that can be united.Just turn the table over and see how Blackbeard plays!
The red-haired man clinked his glass with the white-bearded man, looking thoughtful:
"I see.The gears of fate have turned.Is war very likely to come?Then we have to prepare for it!"
Whitebeard and Redhair raised their glasses and drank deeply.
